LIMITS 2026 starts TOMORROW!
This week, June 23-25, join a global distributed community at our free yearly online-first conference #LIMITS2026.
LIMITS moves us closer towards #computing that supports ecological and just futures for diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres. We're excited for 15 peer reviewed papers, 10+ alternative contributions, open sessions, and a storytelling session with Bonnie Nardi.
Program and free registration: https://computingwithinlimits.org/2026/
One of the highlights of next week's #LIMITS2026 for me will be a "not-a-keynote" session with Prof Bonnie Nardi, co-author of the milestone paper about Limits in CACM and of many other inspiring pieces - my personal favorite is "Design in the Age of Climate Change". https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405872618300418
This will not be a conventional talk, but an interactive storytelling session under the heading "How LIMITS came to be: A personal journey". I so look forward to it.
LIMITS 2026 is as (I think) global conferences should be: online-first, hybrid, regional hubs participating in a global event in which you can join for free, publish for free, and get to interact with your regional community (if you join one of the hubs) and with people all over the world (esp in the breakout sessions, open spaces, and chat).
Ten #LIMITS2026 hubs in eight countries will take place: Toronto, Vancouver, Boulder, Brussels, Grenoble, Strasbourg, Potsdam, Milan, Oslo, Gothenburg.
Next week, June 23-25, join a global distributed community thinking about 'computing within limits' at our free yearly conference #LIMITS2026, everywhere all at once for free.
LIMITS 2026 called for papers to move us closer towards #computing that supports ecological and just futures for diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres. We're excited for the resulting program.

À l'occasion de #LIMITS2026 du 23 au 25 juin et en plus des conférences en ligne, nous vous proposons sur place à #strasbourg :
- 👀 Une visite de notre expo au Shadok sur des services et appareils numériques alternatifs
- 🖨️ Un atelier découverte et utilisation de vieilles imprimantes numériques par Émile Greis
- 👩💻 Une réflexion sur l'amélioration des interfaces en ligne de commande pour lutter contre l'obsolescence par Arthur Pons
Pensez à vous inscrire ! https://limitesnumeriques.fr/computing-withing-limits-strasbourg
What I do know is that these conversations to reimagine computing for ecological and just futures ARE taking place and that people have inspiring ideas, wonderful collaborations and fabulous results to share, including - among others - at #LIMITS2026 in two weeks, proudly independent of ACM and free to attend, everywhere at once :)
#CfP Deadlines for submissions to #LIMITS2026 extended:
Abstract registration: March 27, 2026
Full Papers: April 3, 2026
LIMITS strives to be a place for envisioning technologies and futures ‘otherwise’: a place for work that considers how visions and frameworks of pluriversal design, degrowth and post-growth affect computing and asks how computing can grapple with polycrises, metacrisis, collapse, colonialism and de-colonialization, equity, justice, and transition design.
Paper submission deadline: March 24st 2026

📢 First #CfP: LIMITS 2026!
Since 2015, the yearly LIMITS workshop series concerns the role of computing in human societies situated in a world with planetary boundaries and corresponding limits. As an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and scholars, this community seeks to reshape the computing research agenda, grounded by an awareness that contemporary computing research is intertwined with ecological limits. #LIMITS2026
